There’s a lot of colons in that title. Haden Blackman, the project lead, showed footage of the new Star Wars game at his speech at his sessio on building a game and a studio team at the same time. Overall, the game looked pretty rough but promising. There were explosions, crashing TIE Fighters and stormtroopers getting thrown like ragdolls.

Some thoughts:

The gameplay looked God of War-ish. There is a combo system along with Force powers such as pull and grab. Darth Vaders apprentice uses this power all over the stage.

There’s a payoff camera. What’s a payoff camera. When you toss a Stormtrooper, the camera follows him to his death.

The level we saw was an assassination mission. You were supposed to leave no witnesses. Hence, major destruction. You know, TIE fighters getting tossed around, blasting doors open with the Force.

LucasArts gave away some Force Unleashed figures for its tabletop game. The box is unopened and for you Star Wars freaks, I’ll give it away to the first person to write up a real comment (ie. see substantial opinion) in any post. Hey it’s free swag.
